“Communicating with Online Services” completely locked Game

The most recent update has totally locked me out of F1 25. (PS5)
I’ve tried checking connections etc but F1 25 is the only issue.

I have also tried Uninstalling and Reinstalling but am still getting ‘locked’ into the “Communicating with Online Services” screen. 

I am currently LiveStreaming and on this occasion have been stuck now for over 20minutes already, just from this attempt to Load.

I have a Competition Event scheduled in a few hours time and I would really appreciate not having to forfeit. 

Many thanks if a solution can be achieved asap
